Yes but not really sure of the kinf of attribution.
For example here in France, the fiscal administration allow us (OSM
contributors) to use the "cadastre" (1) (map of all French parcels) to
help mapping the country. The only conditions where to not use the data
as a whole package (but aggregate with our own data, ie adding building
usage name..., drawing rivers and roads...) and to note the source of
the data.
Lot of french user use the JOSM plug-in "cadastre" (2) to map their town
using the provided map as a background. The plug-in add "source=cadastre
2010..." and its fine.
When the final user see the map it only saw the global copyright (© OSM
contributors...") the real source of some of the data are still
"cadastre" and are tagged as "source" in the database.

I don't see incompatibility here, or do i miss something ?
Do OSM have to put the name of all the attribution for the maps
displayed ?
Do the new licence/CT require that we do not use the "source" tag
anymore ?
